European Commission (EC) grants approval to Breyanzi® (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel) for the treatment of adult patients with R/R, BTK inhibitor-treated MCL

“This approval for Breyanzi in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma marks another important step as we continue to deliver on the promise of cell therapy for more eligible patients across Europe – the fourth approval for Breyanzi in Europe,” said Emma Charles, senior vice president, Europe Region, Bristol Myers Squibb. “While frontline therapies have advanced over the years for this rare but aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the vast majority of patients relapse or become resistant and face reduced survival outlook, leaving a critical need for new treatment options. Breyanzi has the opportunity to address a treatment gap for this patient population based on its demonstrated clinical benefit.”
